This weeks supporter video I unbox more iPods... Including a fake one. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/7rnQXWDPV-8

This is an apple iPod Mini 1st generation released in 2004. Its battery no longer holds a useful amount of charge so I upgraded it with a massive battery and multiple different types of connectivity. It even has a stand which includes room for expandable battery capacity with the addition of more battery banks. What do you think of my genius invention?

This is a 4GB Blue iPod Mini 1st generation model A1051 released in 2004 that came with its original box that has some damage, which I'm sad about. After filming I also got small amounts of food on it that stained the box. This makes me sad... and a little mad.
